About

It’s highly likely that you are visiting because of one of the following reasons:
- on the lookout for a place to do really great work,
- in search of an agency to help grow your business or protect your good name,
- a competitor, wondering what we’re up to,
- or maybe the mom of one of our staff.
Whatever brings you to this page, we would love to answer your questions in person. Until then, here’s some of what you’ll want to know. . .
We recently announced plans to grow our business through one of the largest-ever mergers in the public relations industry, combining operations with Pleon, Europe’s largest strategic communications consultancy. As a result, we’ve strengthened our position as one of the world’s largest and most geographically diverse public relations agencies and Europe’s leading public relations agency, with more than 45 offices and affiliates in over 25 countries across the Continent.
We work for global clients, UK clients and very local clients. We’re seasoned communicators with backgrounds in journalism, marketing, science, the arts and prison (long story) among many other pertinent areas. We also have some of the best accountants, HR people, IT specialists and caterers helping us around the clock.
Most of our clients are leaders in their fields – healthcare, cosmetics, domestic goods, civil society, technology, food and beverage, professional services, and entertainment. The few that are not are striving to be, and we’re doing our best to help them get to the top.

The EU referendum campaign's have been deeply disappointing. Neither campaign has been able to translate a complex issue into something simple and compelling that the UK electorate can engage with and understand. Instead, they have focused on exaggeration, scaremongering, and at some point total lies.

I am 100% in favour of Britain staying in the EU for three clear reasons:

- The EU is our biggest trading partner and they are critical to our economic stability

- I don't believe that leaving the EU will solve the 'immigration issue' for those that have a problem with immigration

- In a globalised world, embracing our neighbours and working more closely together is the way forward. Isolationism and nationalism is not the answer

My prediction is that us Brits will vote to remain in the EU by about 60/40.

The UK is deeply connected by trade to the rest of the EU, which accounts for the largest share of Britain’s total global exports and imports, each amounting to about 30% of British GDP. Brexit would therefore have significant consequences for trade flows not just between the UK and the EU, but also in the rest of the world. What those consequences would be depends upon the terms and timing of new trade agreements.
